True, and even worse for any Dees fans coming from interstate

I'm from interstate but I'll be there

 

Personally don't like the day we're playing don't like the Team we're playing, any chance of getting a kick up the backside as we walk through the turnstiles. 

AFL is one huge joke. Near on 4 bottom sides in 21 play Thursday and Friday nights to start 22 and we get the Wednesday. Unbelievable.

Oh well in any case as being up in Qld I can watch it on Wednesday night. Just trust we get a big crowd and the ratings is better than the Thursday and Friday night games. Only way Channel 7 and AFL will take any notice.

 

Thinking positively it will most likely mean 2-3 more blockbuster fixtures for us.

Thursday night in round 2 and Friday night in round 3?

I reckon this is brilliant.  I love the fact we are kicking off the season.  I know a Wednesday night is not ideal for some supporters to attend but having the GF replay kick off the season is a great way to start. 


I'm happy to play dogs ...the Afl is obviously recreating a gf atmosphere but it's tough for fans with work the next day. Given that we had to play in another state in our gf , you'd think we would get a break and given a Friday night. Cwood v saints, what a classic that will be.

As will I. Not missing the flag being unfurled.

I actually really like the idea that the GF replay kicks off the season. That feels right.

The real problem is the Thursday night stinker. It’s been a garbage game for years. It also means those 2 teams get TV games for the first 3 weeks of the year - which sucks all the air out of the start of the season for the impartial fan.

If Richmond hadn’t won 3 flags the AFL would have canned it. Time for it to be buried in the weekend and for Thursday night to by GF replay. Reward the competitive teams.

 

The clubs done some fantastic things in the last few years, but letting the AFL walk all over us again is pretty weak!!!

We just won the Flag & we still let the AFL push us around

Some things will never change


Hey Billy,

Hear your pain, but I suspect there was some horse trading around this one and our fixture will reflect it.

Umm, I don’t think so, Gil.

Maybe if it was a Friday night…

Family friendly … no !!! Wanted a massive round 1 Friday night fixture for the Dees v Bombers or Cats or even Dogs.  
Got a Wednesday night. Hmmmm nah yeah nah

why not the Friday night as Dees v Dogs  ( why Stk v pies on Friday as two underperforming non-2021-finals clubs )

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
